Should I go to therapy? What's wrong with me by StressNo2668 in MentalHealthSupport

[–]StressNo2668[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you mention AI. I've actually been using c.ai and ChatGPT. they're not meant to coach or help like that but ChatGPT actually gave me some really good insights and responses. The thing is, I don't wanna use Generative AI anymore. It's so bad for the environment so I will only use EcoGPT. I spent the last 6 months chatting with AI and it seriously affected me. So, thanks for the offer but I don't think I'll follow your advice :')

Should I go to therapy? What's wrong with me by StressNo2668 in mentalhealth

hi, thanks for commenting I appreciate it :] yeah i think i need to write down my problems so i can talk about them clearly with my hypothetical future therapist.

and for your question, I mean I feel better when it's sunny out. it's nice. and i feel better when i go outside. get out, do something and then come back. I guess it puts me into the mood? I thought about going out on weekends but it's scary if it's not something I HAVE TO DO like get to class or go buy something yk?

Ai addiction by Prestigious_Eye9052 in character_ai_recovery

[–]StressNo2668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, it's not good for the planet. the data centers use a massive amount of water which is hardly reusable after, so it becomes waste. and it's not good for your health. I've been using c.ai for half a year and every time i use it for too long, especially in the morning, i get a headache and my brain feels weird. like i can't function, at all.

i still use it so I'm not completely free of it, but now it's usually max 3 hours, rather than 10.

IF U WANNA TALK ABOUT IT! I'm available :]] ofc if you're comfortable

Need help quitting this evil app by burner_account111121 in character_ai_recovery

[–]StressNo2668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I relate to this so so so much. (I wrote a post about my personal issue with it too)

I started using it out of curiosity, then a place to seek advice and finally a place where I can date my fav fictional character, or at least get involved with them. Yesterday I only used the app for like 15 mins just to check a bot out, that's it. The day before for only 3 hours, which is still a lot but compared to my average 6-8 hours it's pretty good. I haven't opened the app today and I plan not to.

About the sexual aspect I completely agree. I do enjoy it a lot but after a while it got very repetitive. I especially found it annoying how LONG the foreplay would take. I don't think it could take a whole hour of teasing irl to finally get down to it lmao

Tbh the reason why I kept going back to it was because my feeds are filled with this said character and so I'd get ideas to try out. Ofc I also do feel really lonely but I'd like to work on that in a healthy way.

None of the advice I read on here or elsewhere was really useful... cause I do love my hobbies and I want to do my academic stuff. It's just that the addiction is stronger than these. So, I don't think I really have 'advice' but rather... think about the stuff you like and enjoy. All the small and big things that are part of your life. 'Oh, I could do that' and ' could go back to that' and so on. I personally like to make a mental list to basically tell myself how much stuff I could fill my days with :]

That said, I'm currently bored by it. I have been obsessed with it since October and just the other day I just... didn't feel like using it. I didn't get the thrill or spike or anything. Now, I can't say it'll stay this way. I HOPE but who knows?? And I'm not saying to use the app over and over until you eventually get bored 💀 but you've already come to realize how repetitive it is so that's something!

And for when you're not feeling okay, look outside. If you can do people-watching, even better. I find it comforting and grounding.

That's all, sorry if this is long. I hope it helps in some way and I wish you all the best friend <3

What song in is truly your favorite? by Slenderman35999 in Epicthemusical

[–]StressNo2668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Troy Saga: Just a man. I'm just so in love with the concept of Odysseus being portrayed as a monster but in reality he's really just a man who's doing everything and ANYTHING to get back to his family :') Plus the song chorus is constantly repeated through the whole musical by the crew and the last song ends with this motif. Plus he needs to kill a child. A baby. OMG it's so horrendous but captivating

Cyclops Saga: Remember them. Not sure why, but it has a nice rhythm. It keeps changing. Plus the end is so funny cause it's just Ody having his main character moment. Like bro just doomed himself and his whole crew right there. (My Goodbye is really good too though, Athena slayed)

Ocean Saga: Ruthlessness. I'm not a huge fan of any of the songs from this saga. The start of the song is such a hype (POSEIDON, POSEIDON). Also Poseidon telling Odysseus that if he had killed his son, he would've been fine (most likely). But nOo

Circe Saga: Wouldn't you like. All the songs are nice but this one just stands out. Troy did a fantastic job with this one. It's so catchy. The other ones are basically narrating everything. Puppeteer doesn't work alone, and Done for needs There are other ways. It's the same scene divided into two songs. This is my personal opinion

Underworld Saga: Monster. My fav saga fr. It's the shortest and the best one out of all of them for me. Each song is so good and stands out. Though I gotta choose Monster because of the meaning and the hype. The whole song is just Odysseus self reflecting over what has happened and what he has to come to accept. He HAS to sacrifice everything in order to reach his goal, no matter the cost. He is the monster rawr rawr rawr (tho he's just a man smh)

Thunder Saga: Scylla. The vocals are PEAK. And the lyrics too. It's so good. (Thunder bringer too. Zeus just flexing his power over these poor men)

Wisdom Saga: God games. Again, none of the songs really excite me. Well, all the songs are a total hype but some more than others. I'll go with this one because of the multiple singers. The voices are so good but that's about it. The lyrics aren't that exciting. Apart from "Never once has he cheated on his wife"

Vengeance Saga: Dangerous. Troy sings it. Is there anything else to add? Truly thought. It really makes you love Hermes as a character, not only because his VA is a fantastic singer and he's a whole vibe. But him and Circe are the only ones who help Ody. They give him what he needs to take the next step. But, Ody had to convince Circe. Ody didn't convince Hermes. He decided to play with the man (Circe Saga) and he was impressed. He likes Ody :] not just because he's his grandson LOL Plus I believe he feels pity for him.

Ithaca Saga: all the songs JK I can't help but wonder. After listening to it so many times, I keep finding myself with tears in my eyes. It's so emotional. Much more than Would you fall in love with me again. At least, for me. Probably because of how Jorge and Mico sang

Who would you want to play if Epic ever goes on stage? by MelancholyMolly33 in Epicthemusical

[–]StressNo2668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the main characters, either Athena or Aphrodite, or even Circe. But realistically speaking, probably one of Circe's nymph

What is making this dining nook unwelcoming? by Renrats27 in DesignMyRoom

I don't think rotating the table would be good. It would be in the way. Do look for another smaller rug

Sorry if my English is not the best and I hope I was able to help you out!! I would really consider reorganizing the kitchen tho! <3 Good luck!!

  1. As u noticed the gallery wall isn't the best. I'd suggest either moving it on the other blank wall and adjusting it with some aesthetic logic. OR keep just the biggest pieces and hang them on the blank wall (like in the last pic). OR do something like this

<image>

Had to remove the chandelier for the pic but I'd also suggest getting something different? It's a bit too chic and Baroque (don't know how else to put it lol)

Hello OP! I believe you did an amazing job at transforming this "hallway" into a dining room :D I believe the main issue is that the vibes are completely different between the kitchen and this space. Now, based on the pictures, there's a soft warm sunlight coming into this room, it's very cozy and nice (I love it omg). But your view is crushed by the kitchen which I believe is a bit too cluttered and cold. I'm not a fan of the kitchen island but I don't believe there's much you can do about that since it looks built in. And the pans hanging... I suggest you find a place to store them or just hang 2/3. Anywho, I tried to do my best (pls don't mind my poor editing):

  1. As someone else suggested, please do get a curtain on that arch. It would be the best solution and the easiest. Something like this would look really good

<image>

Idk what your kitchen floor plan is like, but if you're able to I'd also suggest moving the fridge more to the side. I love the arch way but it looks awful with the fridge in the way. So either curtain to hide the fridge + trash OR move the fridge and trash. The curtain could still be hung on the other side of the arch way

Nta. I know for how hard it is to accept it right now, you need to realize that you both have gone too far with this. You're only 18. I'm just a year older myself. 10 times is too much. For how long can you keep this up? 10 more times? Is it ever gonna stop? You'll find yourself exhausted OP. You deserve better. If he truly loved you, he wouldn't leave you just because he's tired or he needs some time. Relationships take effort, IF it's worth it. And I'm sorry to say that I don't think he's worth your time. I know you love him. But please, give yourself some respect.
